[quote=FruminousBandersnatch]As an Obama supporter I've been truly disappointed at the lack of openness and the way the Obama administration has dealt with the press and with whistleblowers.

That being said, I also understand the hunker-down, siege mentality that is engendered when you're constantly under attack for things that are complete fiction (birth certificate, death panels, etc.).

In an environment where vultures are constantly circling looking for even the slightest blemish that can be blown up and spun into the next Tea Party cause celebre, it's no wonder the administration tries to circle the wagons. When there's a group out there dedicated to humiliating you and embarrassing you as much as possible, and that has shown no aversion to twisting and distorting the facts to suit their own agenda, anyone's natural inclination would be to try to control information.

The fact that the conservative media and Republicans are rampantly distorting facts (or just MSU) to provide attack/fundraising fodder, does not excuse the administration from breaking it's promise. It merely provides some level of insight into the administration's motivation for doing so.

I still expect better from my president, and I'm very disappointed that we haven't received it. [/quote]
